Building a Boat House: Building Code and Zoning Requirements
Boathouses are a great addition to your property but they can be technically challenging from a land surveying, land-use planning and engineering perspective. Most boat houses encroach on water lots of crown land being the beds of major water bodies. Few properties will own the bed of a water body but the ideal place to… Continue Reading Building a Boat House: Building Code and Zoning Requirements

Silencing the environmental critic isn’t going to change the fact that we have to do something about Climate Change.
Since the Ontario government isn’t going to take responsibility for our environment it falls on our businesses to take up the challenge.
That got us thinking, what can engineers do to reduce green house gases, especially in the construction industry?
We designed a small concrete, steel and wood beam. We then calculated the CO2 emissions of each beam – the results may not be surprising but it does demonstrate the impact engineers can have on green house gases.
